Re: Image Game

All correct.

Re: Image Game

And now to something completely different...

http://img235.imageshack.us/img235/4061/saan1.th.jpg


1. What is the name of this device?

2. What was it used for?

3. What is the approximate place and period of origin for this specimen?

Re: Image Game

1. Astrolabe

2. Astronomy, Astrology, Navigation. A versatile device with which you can, for instance, locate and predict the locations of celestial bodies, determine local time from longitude and vice versa, or perform triangulation.

3. Some historians credit the invention to Greek mathematician Hipparchus, others to Hypatia of Alexandria. So the time and place would be a couple of hundred years BC, and place the Mediterranian.

(Credit to the wondrous Wikipedia. Just figured that thing looked like some kind of an astronomy/navigation device and the rest was easy.:))

Re: Image Game

1. Correct.

2. Correct.

3. Incorrect - I asked for the approximate place and period of origin for this specimen.
(let me see you find that in the wikipedia smile - HINT: those letters on the dial are neither greek nor latin...)


So I guess the competition is open for all again, the first one to answer the 3rd question correctly is the winner :demon:

Re: Image Game

3. 1309/10 AD, probably North African in origin.

(Okay, that took some heavy googling.:))

Re: Image Game

Correct. It is indeed an astrolabe of North African origin - thus the arabic markings.

Having placed it in an arabic/islamic context around AD 1000 - 1500  would have sufficed smile

Your turn again it seems.

Re: Image Game

Never even heard of this before but the hints did help quite a bit.

1. Orion Burger

2. They want to harvest fresh protein for their fast food chain.

I'm not too sure if the following is what you're looking for, but here goes:

3. There's a time limit on the puzzles where you have to gather the nessecary items to complete an 'intelligence test' that was introduced by the insistense of an 'alien-rights' group to make sure that intelligent species wouldn't be used in burgers. Due to one of these Planet Huggers messing with some time travel equipment you're caught in a form of time loop, causing you to retry the puzzles over and over again till you get it right.

Re: Image Game

1. Correct

2. Correct

3. Correct. I'd add that this repeat-the-day structure allows time-based puzzles where you have to be at a certain place at a certain time a do some thing. In other words, the world around you isn't static, just waiting for you to solve the next puzzle.

RP in MMOG's looks like this when trying to base it on in-game activities:
"Let's go <activity>!"
"Yay, <activity>!"

What is this character's name and what is he?
Also, who is his main rival?
